“The…the power of a god…” Harris was utterly stunned.
The god-level power emanating from Gardevoir almost made Harris completely lose his will to fight.
“No!!” Harris slapped himself hard, and the pain on his face brought him back to his senses.
“No, even if it’s the power of a god, it has its limits.” Harris took a deep breath and looked at Gardevoir again, “Besides, she’s not a true god.”
Harris gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at Salamence and Incineroar, “Attack!”
But for a long time, the two Pokémon didn’t move an inch.
Salamence and Incineroar were almost ready to curse: “Big brother, why don’t you move for us to see? If we could move, would we be stuck here?”
“Do you think it’s just the opponent’s aura pressing us down?”
“Why don’t you look at the Psychic shackles all over the sky?”
…
However, Salamence glanced at Incineroar, implying: “No, I’m a Dragon-type, so it’s fine if I can’t withstand Psychic, but aren’t you a Dark-type? Aren’t you known as a Psychic bane? How did you also get suppressed into a cat?”
Incineroar: “Don’t ask. I have a premonition that if I dare to move, you’ll be attending a funeral.”
Incineroar quietly pointed to the sky.
Salamence instinctively looked up, and at that sight, he almost lost half his life from fright.
Goodness, why was there such a huge moon in the sky for so long?
Above the stadium, no one noticed that a giant moon had already formed, looking as if it was about to smash down at any moment.
Salamence swallowed: “Brother, is that thing Moonblast?”
Incineroar: “It looks very similar.”
Salamence swallowed again: “I heard Moonblast is a Fairy-type move?”
Incineroar nodded like a fierce tiger.
As is well known, Fairy-type against Dragon-type is a type advantage that allows one to fight with eyes closed.
The next moment, Salamence directly closed his eyes: “Brother, if I can’t see, does that mean I won’t die?”
Seeing the bizarre scene of the two Pokémon frozen in place, no one in the audience knew what was happening.
Xiao You also asked this question at this time.
Ling Fei: “Don’t ask. If you ask, it’s Psychic. This Gardevoir’s Psychic power is already beyond my comprehension.”
Yan Jin, however, looked up and murmured, pointing to the sky, “Perhaps I know why they don’t dare to move.”
Everyone followed Yan Jin’s gaze upwards.
They saw a giant moon appear in the circular area in the middle of the Ho-Oh Nest Stadium at some unknown time.
Just from its size, this moon was big enough to crush the entire stadium into dust.
What is megalophobia?
Today, the moon tells you that if it’s close enough to you, you’ll also experience megalophobia towards it.
“Mama, what a big moon in the sky!”
“Why is the surface of this moon so smooth? It’s not scientific at all.”
“Why would the moon appear during the day?”
…
After the shock, everyone returned to their familiar complaining mode. Just then, they saw another Bewear move in the battle arena.
The Bewear, which was Zoroark, slowly approached Salamence and Incineroar with an arrogant stride.
“So you’re the ones who want to battle me, huh?”
Zoroark, no, Bewear extended three claws formed by Shadow Force from each of its paws.
Just as he was about to attack, Harris suddenly shouted, “I surrender! I forfeit this match!”
Salamence and Incineroar immediately burst into tears.
The pressure on them also instantly disappeared.
The two Pokémon, having survived a close call, immediately hugged each other and wept bitterly.
Zoroark pouted in dissatisfaction and left without looking back.
The battle ended, and along with it, the moon in the sky also disappeared.
The audience immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“If Harris forfeits this match, then A Li has 7 points now, right? This means he’s already won?”
“That’s right. Even if Harris can win the team battle, A Li has still won.”
“Win the team battle? Is that a joke?”
“I guess Harris himself isn’t very confident, is he?”
…
As things stood, Harris also knew that it would probably be very difficult for him to achieve victory.
Two Bewear, plus Hatterene and the even stronger Gardevoir, as well as that not-so-weak Zoroark, he knew he was destined to lose.
“But… I must at least eliminate one Pokémon, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing,” Harris said fiercely.
And in the arena, the happiest person was not the live audience, but Park Sang-eun, who had lost his match earlier.
“Xi ba, you looked down on me, and even created a new competition system, but the result is still the same, isn’t it?” Park Sang-eun’s eyes revealed a hint of vengeful pleasure, “As expected, I’m more intelligent; I surrendered in advance. I don’t have to be as embarrassing as that fool Harris.”
Park Sang-eun had even thought of what he would say after returning to his country.
He wanted to portray himself as a strategic person.
“Don’t look at me surrendering, but my surrender was to preserve my strength, and also to preserve the strength of the nation.”
“What’s a temporary win or loss?”
“Only long-term victory is true victory.”
“Today’s defeat is just for the sake of biding my time.”
“As expected of me, Park Sang-eun, a generation’s hero,” Park Sang-eun said, moved by his own words.
Compared to Park Sang-eun, who was in a semi-deranged state, Joyce, who was watching the battle in the waiting room on the other side, was incredibly distressed.
His world ranking was similar to Harris’s, and they knew each other well.
Someone who could defeat Harris like this was definitely not someone he could handle.
“What should I do?” Joyce kept muttering, “Should I also surrender? No! I can’t! But if I can’t, what can I do?”
Joyce sighed deeply.
Just then, his phone rang.
Joyce’s eyes lit up. After answering the phone, a voice came from the other end: “Later, you’ll just…”
Joyce’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he quickly nodded in thanks.
Ling Fei and Yan Jin, who were at the commentary desk, also couldn’t help but sigh.
Xiao You asked somewhat confused, “What’s wrong with you two?”
The two couldn’t help but show a wry smile: “You might find it hard to understand this feeling, but I can actually empathize with Harris’s feelings right now.”
“Because facing a Trainer like A Li, anyone would feel despair.”
Xiao You was stunned for a moment, then she understood.
For Pokémon Trainers who aim for world number one, A Li is like a huge wall blocking the path of all Pokémon Trainers.
Strong, incomparably strong, even unreasonably strong.
Even now, Xiao You hadn’t even seen A Li’s former Pokémon partners. She couldn’t imagine what level those Pokémon had grown to.
All of this had already far exceeded her understanding.
Finally, the long-awaited 6VS6, 12 Pokémon free-for-all battle was about to begin.
Harris also sent out his 6 Pokémon in one go: Salamence, Incineroar, Metagross, Wash Rotom, Toxapex, and Grimmsnarl.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Mu Li.
